Nature study often begins in our back garden, as is the case with this little friend... The Yellow Bear Caterpillar, the larval form of the Virginia Tiger Moth.He was a feisty little thing, and he did not want to sit still for a the camera, so this was the best shot I got.
M'Lady was not exactly happy with having to let him go though!
But not all of nature study takes place in the garden. Some of it takes place on a daytrip... like our recent jaunt down to Yorktown, which took us along the Colonial Parkway, at sunset.
View of the sunset over a branch off of the main James River.
The pink sunset reflects in the James River.
Ground level view of the sandy river beach and cliffs of the James River.
More Pink Water.
Another sunset view.
OK So I am not certain whether it is the James or the York River, deduction suggests James River :) But anyway, we all stood beside the warm river, watching the sunset, some geese and picking up blue quartz :D
